(Double Bonus) Required Listen: Four Year Strong & Portugal. The Man

Hello bouys, and grrls. I was feeling pretty excited about two bands, and I didn't want to split it up into two different posts, so I ate a green mushroom, and now you get to have a "1 UP" with the required listens. The Bands I chose were Four Year Strong, and Portugal. The Man.

I am going to start out with Four Year Strong.
"Four Year Strong is an American pop punk/ melodic hardcore band from Worcester, Massachusetts, formed in 2001. The group consists of vocalists and guitarists Dan O'Connor and Alan Day, bassist Joe Weiss, keyboardist and back-up vocalist Josh Lyford and drummer Jackson Massucco." (Wiki)
I've seen them once in concert, and they are one of my favorite bands, I will post some links below, and a music video.

Next, Portugal. The Man. I was browsing through Graywhales selection, and stumbled across their album Censored Color. I had heard good things about this band, and I really wanted to know more, so I bought it, and listened to it, gotta say, it blew my mind. You should check them out.
